At least one use case is typing something in one workspace while looking at another. Incredibly useful when you need to edit config files or edit specific portions of text. Since you only need the parts of where you're "copying" from typing it out is usually much faster.

Sounds like a sub-optimal workflow tbh. Why not copy/paste in the first place and then edit?
